Chapter 2166: Ah, You Venomous Woman!
The City lord’s castle pasted a notice to let the residents of Chaos City know what was happening.
There had been many powerhouses volunteering to join the garrison and applying to join the front lines over the past few days. There were also many craftsmen and tailors who joined in the logistical support and even the normal citizens were helping the soldiers make cotton clothes.
However, the suppressive atmosphere of an impending war still loomed over Chaos City.
No one knew if the allied forces could win this war and what would await them.
“Why don’t I join the fighting team and go to the frontlines to hack apart some skeleton men? It’s better than staying at the back and waiting for a result,” Harrison told Gjerj seriously.
Gjerj looked at Harrison for a while, thinking of how to dispel that dangerous thought from his best friend’s head.
“But they don’t have armor in your size,” a soft voice said.
The two were stunned and looked back at the same time.
Amy, who was holding an ice cream in one hand and a round orange cat in another, was looking at them with a smile.
“Little Boss!”
Harrison and Gjerj’s eyes lit up in surprise.
“You’re back? Is the restaurant going to open again?” Harrison asked.
“Mm. I’m back. But Father is gone again so the restaurant is not opening yet.” Amy shook her head.
“Where did Boss Mag go? Everywhere is so chaotic right now,” Gjerj asked with concern. Where could Boss Mag have gone, leaving the children behind at such a time?
“Father is going to cook for the soldiers and said that he would be back in a few days time.” Amy looked at Gjerj and asked curiously, “Uncle Blue Fatty, where is Christy? Did she grow taller? When can you bring her out for me to play with?”
“Boss Mag is also at the frontline?” Harrison and Gjerj were shocked.
“Christy has already started to talk but she can only make random sounds. If you would like to play with Christy, you can come to my house any time you like,” Gjerj said with a smile. “Parber and Angus said that they missed you just two days ago.”
Amy tilted her head in frustration, “But I don’t miss them at all. I only miss Christy. Little brothers aren’t cute at all.”
“Er…”
As a slave of his daughter, Gjerj actually agreed with that.
“Boss Mag is indeed a role model for us. At such a dangerous moment, he would never retreat. It seems I have to custom-make my armor to go to the frontline to kill!” Harrison said with resolution.
“Uncle Blue Fatty, I think you can give it a try if you can turn while wielding your sword and not trip over yourself,” Amy told Harrison seriously.
Harrison imagined that scenario very seriously and quickly gave up on himself.
“Ah… indeed, just having money and no talent won’t work.” Harrison leaned back on the bench and let out a sigh.
The old man picking up bottles at the side tightened his grip on his walking stick for a very long time before letting go.
“Goodbye, I’ll be playing with my friends.” Amy waved her ice cream and skipped off with Ugly Duckling in her arms.
***
Plop.
A strange sound came from the yard. Luna put down her pen and looked out. She hesitated for a while but still went over to take a look.
When she opened the door, she saw a silhouette in silver armor laying face-down in the yard, with one leg still up on the short wall in the yard.
“Oh gosh!”
Luna was stunned. She took the hoe leaning on the wall beside her and looked at the man laying on the ground nervously as she said, “Who… who are you?! Why have you climbed over the wall into my yard!”
This was the Chaos School’s teachers’ apartments. There would usually be a security officer guarding the school gate and another would also be patrolling around regularly. It should be very safe.
How did someone sneak into school and even into her yard?
Upon hearing her voice, the silhouette moved. He pressed his palms into the ground, looking as though he was trying to get up.
Luna could already imagine the countless single ladies at home being sexually assaulted by this pervert. She looked at the fellow who was trying to get up and with a sudden burst of courage, she closed her eyes and whacked the hoe right at him.
Thud!
A dull thud.
Luna’s hand was numb from the impact.
The figure who finally managed to prop himself up was smashed right to the ground again.
“Ouch…” a voice cried.
Hm?
Luna was stunned. She saw a section of a ponytail from beneath the helmet and suddenly seemed to have realized something. She quickly threw the hoe away and squatted over to flip the person over.
That face, covered in soil and snow, was actually an annoyed Vivian.
“What… what are you doing? Why are you dressed like that and why did you even flip over the wall?” Luna looked at Vivian in shock.
“Pah!” Vivian spit out some soil in her mouth and said angrily, “You’re trying to murder your own sister! That attack made my head spin.”
“Let me take a look.” Luna quickly helped Vivian up to sit on a chair at the side. She removed her helmet and after making sure that Vivian’s head was not injured under the protection of the good-quality helmet, she took out a handkerchief to help Vivian wipe her face. At the same time, she said angrily, “Thank goodness I was not holding on to a knife.”
“Ah, you venomous woman!” Vivian glared at her.
“There’s a door but you had to flip over the wall and you’re even wearing such ill-fitting armor. Serves you right.” Luna poked Vivian’s head. She got such a fright thinking that it was a bad person.
“Hmph, Knights would never use the door. This wall is my first opponent since I made my debut,” Vivian said angrily as she turned back to look at the short wall, which was the height of half a person.
She wanted to make a stunning appearance but ended up falling flat. How embarrassing!
“Oh right, a knight. Knights have their own rules and principles. They do not flip over the walls of others’ homes.” Luna rolled her eyes. She looked at the ill-fitting armor on Vivian and said, “But what is this for today? Are you cosplaying?”
“No. This is not cosplay. From today onwards, I am a knight that helps the weak and punishes the strong!” Vivian said with resolution. She reached over to her waist but there was nothing.
Hm?
Vivian looked down.
“Where’s my sword?!”
Vivian was shocked. She looked left and right and was suddenly flustered.
“Hanging right there.” Luna pointed upwards.
Vivian looked up and saw a longsword hanging high on a three-meter tall tree. She fell silent.
It had probably swung out of her hand when she fell off the wall.
“Actually, I hung it there on purpose. Knights must always have their swords. If they drop their swords, it would be like dropping their heads. You know that, right?” Vivian looked left and right for a long bamboo pole that she could use to get her longsword down.
